Not a single one.

Because democrats refuse to implement the simple policy that will stop it.

Mandate e-verify.

It will significantly reduce the impact with little cost

Don’t just mandate it, make it illegal to hire if they fail.

Currently if there is a e verify mis match Employers cannot take adverse action against an employee (such as terminating employment) based on it. They can not use it as a reason to not hire them

How dumb is that?

Because citizens deserve to work to earn to live and the paperwork can be wrong. Law enforcement is responsible to investigate mismatches. Why won't Republican Presidents investigate? Obama did.

OK, then what do you expect to arrest the employer for if they hire someone? Following the rules? How are they "criminal employers"?

We were surprised at how difficult it actually was to get him a cash job.

Do you also help legal immigrants and citizens find work?

What does "return to stagnation" mean?
A rapid increase in wages followed by stagnation is still in increase.


If COVID shutting down labor raises wages, and ending COVID pandemic left them flat or even lower, that's COVID, not immigration. The people who immigrated and took jobs before COVID didn't stop existing during and after COVID (ignoring all the people Trump's mismanagement killed, of course, which was largely older people)

need to mandate e-verify. Not sure why Democrats refuse to mandate e-verify

Deportations are a necessary part of any credible enforcement system, but E-Verify is a less costly and more effective way to stop illegal immigration. Moreover, as the journalist Lee Fang has observed:
“Studies have shown the negative impact of immigration on wages for competing American workers, especially those with lower levels of education.”

Fang describes how the “industrial-scale employment of undocumented workers that has become standard in certain sectors of the American economy” has expanded well beyond the food industry and now includes a rising number of underage migrants working in construction and other industries.

We just ran a real-world experiment on how surges of immigration impact wages. “According to new analysis,” Fang report, “the corresponding tight labor market [during COVID] produced rapid salary increases among those working at the bottom of the income scale, particularly those in leisure, hospitality, and transportation - the very industries with the highest concentrations of migrant workers.”

But after the pandemic, major business lobbying groups “ successfully pressured the Biden administration to loosen immigration restrictions and to grant protected status to a variety of immigrant groups so they could take jobs in American factories, restaurants, and meatpacking plants, thus alleviating the pressure to continually raise wages. As migrant workers streamed into the country, wages for blue-collar industries returned to stagnation.”

The Legal Workforce Act (H.R. 251) would mandate E-Verify and it has bipartisan support. E-Verify levels the playing field for American workers and employers.

Tell your Representative The Legal Workforce Act, H.R. 251, is a bi-partisan solution to the hiring of illegal workers.

They don’t ask for work papers. I never cared about the immigrants status of workers.

Correct, but if someone gives me false information, I am required to accept it even if I think it’s false so again, what law is the employer breaking?

And the I-9 documentation they get is valid, as far as they know.

Again, what should they be arrested for?

What are you going to arrest them for? An Employer is not allowed to question legal status, and if provided papers, must accept them even if they suspect they are fake.

They are following the laws put in place and you want to arrest them because "they should have known".
